That is an epic experience that I'm sure you'll never forget! Love the way you wrote it too - especially the last sentence :)

Well said. And the best part of your phrasing is its consistency with simulation theory.

TL;DR champion. Thanks.

At first I thought you meant to say _average_ person, but then I realized you were correct either way :)

Well done, and thanks for sharing your insight. Small gripe, I found this line in your article's opening remarks a unnecessary - "If that doesn't ring a bell, then please ignore this and go about your life a few million poore

Thanks for clarifying. I felt the same as OP above. The title of this post totally through me off.

Hah. "Load Shedding". Shout-out to my fellow South Africans.

Thank you to you both. That was highly informative, and precisely the sort of conversation I hope to come across on HN.

FWIW, I for one enjoyed reading your perspective. This is something my wife and I discuss all the time. We're both ambitious in our respective careers, and your points have added value to my view of this discussion. Thanks for sharing.

This comment put a smile on my face, because reverse engineering Gorillas' QBasic source in DOS 6.22 was my first foray into programming. Good times.

A friend of mine is a sculptor. He once said something to me along the lines of "if you want to make the perfect sculpture, don't try to make the perfect sculpture. Instead make lots of sculptures, until you make the perfect sculp

Fascinating neurology. I achieve the same articulacy (having systematic, "hyperlinked" conversations on complex subjects) when I close my eyes; I suspect it frees up resources which are in turn devoted to verbal communication. But

Well said. Balance is key. Deep work in a quiet, suitable lit, and well ventilated cave. With intermittent breaks in the vibrant outdoors surrounded by trees, hills, and seas.

Bingo. It's like saying you want to be a painter, but then get stuck painting walls for a living. You're still painting, but it's not the same. Unless painting walls is your thing; that's cool too.

As someone who wholeheartedly agrees with your philosophy of focusing on the big picture, I'd like to add that being pedantic (passionate) about one's tools is not necessarily a bad thing - provided said obsession is not a hindran

Precisely the same reason I started my company 15 years ago. That, and wanting to work from home. It was a different world back then.

Well said. I recently got into a "the Expanse is not hard sci-fi" discussion, and the politics of space (between distant planets) was an interesting angle we hadn't considered.

This was such an insightful comment (and based on such specialised knowledge) that my first feeling was one of sadness that it'll get buried in the sands of HN. It would be cool if we could tag comments such as this one for intuitive r

I never studied this stuff, so the genius of your intuitive explanation is appreciated. My intuitive response to your intuitive explanation: This ball is moving through spacetime relative to the earth, which is in turn also moving through s
